Good Afternoon,

EMS week is fast approaching (May 15-21, 2022) and Ryan and I are really looking forward to spending some time visiting agencies and programs around the state to see some of the great things going on in the EMS community and recognizing the folks that continue to rise to the challenge to make it all happen.

If you know of any EMS events or activities that are happening in your region during EMS week, please send an email to health.365.EMSDirector@health.ny.gov and we’ll try to stop by.

Don’t forget to include:
Date and time of event or activity
Location of event or activity
Agency or Agencies involved
Any special details or notes that we should know about
Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

SEMSCO Sustainability TAG Survey

By Uncategorized

Greetings Everyone,

The Sustainability Tag has asked me to share this with agencies and providers in the region. Please take a few moments to to complete this survey as it is important work. Thanks

SEMSCO Sustainability TAG Survey

This past November, the New York State Emergency Medical Services Council (SEMSCO) created a Sustainability Technical Advisory Group (TAG) to draft a white paper documenting the current challenges and potential solutions in EMS.

To best understand the issues faced by providers and agencies of all types, the TAG developed the below survey, and we need your help distributing it to as many agencies and providers as possible.

When complete, the TAG can then analyze the information from the survey to better present a ‘State of the State’ at SEMSCO this summer.

Participation in this survey is completely voluntary and responses will be recorded anonymously.

We will not collect or share any personally identifiable information. If, however, you would like to provide your contact details there is a separate section to do so.

If you have any questions about the Sustainability TAG or its sub-committees, or this survey, please contact Michael Benenati at LFD478@outlook.com or David Violante at dviolante@afd.org.

Thank you in advance for your time assisting us with this study and thank you for all that you do in EMS!
